kaupparekisteriote

The kaupparekisteriote, often translated as a trade register extract or company extract, is an official document that provides key information about a registered company in Finland. It is maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office, known as PRH (Patentti- ja rekisterihallitus).

This extract serves as proof of a company's legal existence and its registration details. It typically includes the company's official name, Business ID (Y-tunnus), registered domicile, the industry or sector it operates in, and the date of its establishment. It also lists the individuals who have the right to represent the company, such as board members, managing directors, and any authorized signatories, along with their roles and the extent of their authority.

The kaupparekisteriote is a crucial document for various business transactions, including opening bank accounts, entering into contracts, and conducting due diligence. It helps ensure transparency and provides a reliable source of information for partners, creditors, and authorities. Anyone can obtain a kaupparekisteriote, usually for a small fee, either online through the PRH website or in person at their service points. The information contained within the extract is publicly accessible and regularly updated to reflect any changes in the company's status or management.
